To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Apple’s Final Cut Pro is entirely built upon their Quicktime core. So for Final Cut Pro to support a given video format it needs to have a Quicktime codec for that format. That means the FCP development team have to implement common codecs in Quicktime for FCP support.

Let’s be honest here .... there’s no shortage of one click film-look style emulation plug-ins available for Final Cut Pro. The biggies Magic Bullet Looks and Nattress Film Effects come to mind. Now we can add another one to the list: FxAndy.

When a Client Can't Play the QT File

A client will one day call you late into a quiet evening saying they can't play the QuickTime files you've sent them. Since they need them in HD and regular DVD's can't (technically unless you mix HD-DVD with some prestidigitation) do HD content you need to send them something they can use...NOW! THE PRESENTATION IS IN 10 HOURS ZOMG!!!1!!1!

What Happened to Blood Secrets

Pegasus had been in development for years. The concept at its inception was brilliant; super-computer hardware (we had a team of engineers designing custom silicon - we even named the chips after the engineers) coupled with elegant software. It was a game changer, a category creator. And that, perhaps, was one of the first signs of trouble.
